9 Ngizabehlisela umonakalo ozakwenza ukuthi yonke imibuso yomhlaba yesabe.+ Ngizabehlisela ihlazo, abantu bahlale bekhuluma ngabo. Bazakuba yinhlekisa futhi bazaqalekiswa+ kuzo zonke izindawo engizabenza basabalale kuzo.+

18 “UJehova wamabutho, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Njengoba ngathululela intukuthelo yami lolaka lwami ebantwini ababehlala eJerusalema,+ ngizathululela ulaka lwami phezu kwenu nxa lingaya eGibhithe. Ngizaliqalekisa ngilehlisele umonakalo owesabekayo futhi lizathukwa libe lihlazo,+ njalo alisoze liphinde liyibone indawo le.’

20 Kungani usikhohlwa kokuphela futhi usilahla okwesikhathi eside kangaka?+

16 Awu Jehova, wena uhlala usenza okulungileyo,+ ngicela ususe ulaka lwakho lokuthukuthela kwakho edolobheni lakho iJerusalema, intaba yakho engcwele. Phela bonke abakhelane lathi+ bayayichothoza iJerusalema kanye labantu bakho ngenxa yezono zethu kanye lamacala abakhokho bethu.
